Lauren plays Hades #5: Meeting Chaos, Gaining Lore (first playthrough)

by



I don’t know if it’s because the sword is harder for me or if I’m getting sloppier, but we didn’t even make it to the hydra this week. I lost to Meg! But it’s OK, because I had a lot of fun getting lore, experiencing new things, figuring out how the game works, and ARTEMIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Also, Chaos? They are creepy and I’m concerned. I’m also concerned about some of the Olympians. I dunno. It’s good stuff, though.

I have no idea how I’m going to title these different videos because I feel like it might be a lot of the same thing again, but with a few new things? I don’t know. This is a very different experience than what I usually stream, even though it definitely feels like forward progression.

So what is the thing with Meg, I wonder? What is Nyx up to? There are things happening and we will presumably uncover them eventually, after dying a whole lot.

  1. The sword is deceptively hard to use well, I wouldn't worry too much. Regardless, though, you're doing very well! I'm always excited to see you progress.

  3. Artemis is probably the purest of the Olympians.

    Oh, btw. Yellow health bars are 'armour' that you have to get rid of before you can hit them where it hurts. What's more important is that enemies with armour can't be interrupted in their attacks with you striking them.

    As for Dusa… I myself never even considered them to be ACTUALLY Medusa. Just a maid Gorgon called Dusa for the pun of it – I don't think I necessarily agree with you thinking that. But I can understand your feelings re. reinterpretations of old legends and their old prejudices and why you feel the way you do about Dusa.

    I hope the trip goes well, keep safe, and may the good lady Artemis keep your journey as direct and quick as one of her arrows.

    Edit: Also, Achilles and Nyx – true parents of Zag. It is also telling that even though Zag has a rich-boy, privileged background, his warmth and politeness (and snarkiness) makes him incredibly endearing.
